Ava woke up later in the evening feeling so rejuvenated and full of life, in a way that she had not felt for a long while. She did some push-up exercises after stepping down from her bed, before she had a quick bath in the bathroom and changed into comfortable clothes. She went out of her room and followed through her large open hallway, before climbing down the stairs and walking into the living room to check for her children. When she realized that they were not there, she checked the dining room to see if they were probably eating, and returned to check their bedroom when she didn't see them anywhere around the house. Her heart started to beat fast with the thought that her children should be home by that time from the mall, and returned to her room hurriedly to get her phone and call Beatrice to ask after the kids. The woman told her that they were almost home with the chauffeur, and Ava heaved a sigh of relief before lashing out on impulse at the nanny. She asked why they wer

Ava's heart dropped when she heard him ask her the most formidable question, as her heart began to pound like a war drum, with its deafening rhythm loud in her ears. She felt an overwhelming sense of vulnerability as if every layer of her protection had been stripped away, leaving her exposed and defenseless to her cold reality. The truth that she had been trying so much to hide since all these days, had been exposed to the last person that she would have wanted to know. However, she could not back down so easily and let him get to her. "Your kids? Are you in your right senses at all?" Ava asked him with a scoff, her eyes burning through his with an intensity enough to melt it down. She was so pissed that he had the guts to ask her about the kids he never knew existed before. That he had rejected and denied years ago. "You are not denying it," he proceeded further with a smug smile as his eyes sparkled with a glint of hope, now emboldened by Ava's weak backup that he was definitely

The phones at the AVARSON continued to ring incessantly as every worker was running from place to place, picking up calls and trying their very best to answer the complaints of every customer. Only that morning, more than a hundred orders of cloth that had been made were canceled abruptly. Cassey returned disappointed from RADAAR magazine company which was one of the biggest in New York, after they had agreed to feature the AVARSON fashion brand on a page in their magazine. They just canceled it out for no reason, and it left Cassey destabilized because she had been feeling so much excitement already. Returning to the company to meet a new problem arising from nowhere, made things even worse than she pictured it to be when Gianna called her. Celebrities that had booked a styling and tailoring section with them, suddenly started canceling their scheduled meeting with them.However, the major problem seemed to only be occurring with major things that they needed to climb the goal lad

Anna's mind had been cast into a fiery pit of doubt and unanswered questions, as she wrestled without knowing the exact truth that was involved with the scandal, that she read about Ethan and the mystery kids which was on news. It was a fact that Ethan had not been with any other woman and locked himself out of the world after their terrible breakup, which made her continue to wonder how it was possible for him to have kids with some lady. As much as her mind wanted to lie to her that it might not be true, she still wanted to confirm the truth because of the kind of personality Ethan had. He wasn't the kind to just play with random kids, talk more of reserving the restaurant for the afternoon so that they could have their space. The crazy part of everything was that she knew there was no way that they were related to him, because he had no close family that he could spend such quality time with. 'Or has he changed in those years? Were they surrogate babies? But he was smiling in th

Pushing the door open to the expansive space that she was standing in front of, Ava was overwhelmed by the beautiful sight of the luxuriousness of her new office, which was stationed on the last floor as she made her way in. The room was bathed in a warm and golden glow, emanating from the crystal chandelier that hung majestically from the ceiling. The walls were adorned with rich, textured wallpaper in shades of deep gray and black, which was bettered by intricate gold petals detailing that added a touch of regality. A plush, black carpet in a deep shade of gold stretched across the floor, at the center of the room where comfortable couches were positioned around it. As she walked further into the office space to see more of its beauty and great artistry work, she felt as if she was walking in the clouds with the carpet's luxurious embrace enhancing her every movement. Her office desk sitting at the very end of the room was adorned with beautiful carvings of great quality, and beh
